Buttons:
The last detail on block 13 is a cluster of buttons. With the exception of the very top button they are all vintage. Some I found at what we call “swap meets” or “Trash and Treasure” markets. I think in America people call them “boot sales”. Some of these buttons also came from swaps and gift from friends
Placement on block:
On block 13 this button cluster sits on bottom right hand corner of the block

Free Crazy quilt block patterns
In the process of documenting the seam decorations on this quilt, as I get to each block I am diagramming it out for readers as a free crazy quilt pattern. Links to these free pattern pages are listed on the CQ details FAQ page.
